I might get used to short hair and plum lips 🤔 #ITGirl #NykaaITGirl #ShortHair
#TLDR #RANT "Did you chop off all the beautiful hair?" A friend asked. "I like your hair long," the only ex I am still friends with pinged. "I would kill to have such lovely hair. Who can think about chopping it off like this?" An acquaintance wondered out loud in a Whatsapp group. "How are you going to go on your potential matrimony dates with such hair? Men like shorter hair in girlfriends and friends. They will act all finicky if it's their potential wife," sister exclaimed. "Should I order BBlunt extensions, just in case you hate this?" Mom suggested. "Cannot wait to meet you. Your new hairstyle is hot," messaged a random thirsty ex-colleague that I never text. Hair is a big deal for me. First world problem - yes; agreed. However, I have always had an abusive yet romantic relationship with my hair. All my school life, I had to plait my hair up, not just because school rules said so, but it was lot more convenient to be involved in co and extra curricular activities. As I hit puberty, I started experimenting with my hair, but thanks to 15 years of plaiting and oiling, my hair was wavy, frizzy, oily, and unmanageable - all at once. It took all my college life for me to figure out a good hair care routine and start loving my hair for what it is. And just when I thought I figured it all out, I started abusing my hair all over again or rather started living by myself. Without learning how to maintain it, I have dived, trekked, slept in random buses and trains, washed hair in random water, left it unwashed, etc. And what's more? Breakup? Hair cut. Drunk? Try a crazy hairstyle. Coping up with grief? Pull the hair out. Boring job? Hair colour. Tinder date? Curl it up. Brunch with friends? Straighten it. New shampoo in the market? Try. And one fine day, as I ran my fingers through my hair, just like any other day, I realized it doesn't feel like my hair anymore. I have abused it beyond repair. This is when I took all my willpower to chop it off. This is my shortest chop in a while now. Finally, my hair feels natural and good now, and I hope to not show my anger and grief towards my hair.
Chop chop chop! Swipe to see my transition from vamp to nerd🙄🤷😂 #Haircut #ItsAllGone #SummerIsHere
Guess who started the #curlygirlroutine Yes, now I am a #CG too. This is my very first attempt. I have lots to improve/improvise before I can flaunt my curls. This is just a baby step. #CurlyGirl #cgmethod #indianfashionblogger #blogger #beautyblogger #type2AHair
